I have a GE JGB900 series range and the "probe" and "bake" lights are flashing and the oven won't start up. We don't have the probe and have never used it.
Open oven door,
Plug in probe,
Lay probe inside oven,
Set probe temp to 100,
Start the Bake cycle.
Target probe temp will hit 100 in minutes,
Open door,
Take out Probe.
Your done - solved!
I think this started when I accidently tapped Probe when setting up the Bake cycle. With no Probe cancel, the probe cycle must complete. So that’s what we do.
Solution time 7 minutes
You will need to replace the probe. Here is the part to order.
SOURCE: Probe and Bake blink alternately.
I had the same problem. I resolved it yesterday. Detailed instructions can be found if you access my inquiry under the user name bhmlton. If you can't find them, then let me know and I'll get them to you another way.
SOURCE: just installed new control panel
Normally the bake/probe flashing happens when you plug in the probe. If you don't have the probe plugged in, then double check that your wiring connectors are plugged in properly on your new board or that the wires to the probe connector are not shorted. Make sure that the probe is plugged in all the way. Unscrew the retaining nut, then unscrew the two sheet metal screws holding the housing in place, then give the probe connection a gentle tug to ensure that it is still properly connected.
You will need to replace the jack for the probe. Here is the part to order.
Good Afternoon Gwen - Try reprogramming the range by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the unit back on. If issue persists, then the unit could possibly be experiencing an issue with a wiring failure, EOC (electronic oven control), sensor probe and/or faulty bake or broil element. I would strongly recommend consulting a professional to narrow down the precise issue before investing in parts that may or may not be the root cause.
